Happy Friday Tribies 🥳
I hope your week is going great and you're living 'better than average'.
Today I want to highlight and celebrate the progress of one particular Tribie who is consistent in showing up for herself no matter how she's feeling. And the progress isn't just weight loss, she's also creating Freedom From Food for herself too. I hope she doesn't mind me celebrating her here... The incredibly amazing Amanda Buckingham 🥳🥳
Here's a few of her posts just from this week in Facebook Group:
- Another great day yesterday. ‘Treated’ myself to a jacket potato with tuna and sweetcorn. The potato was rather large and although I knew if it was on my plate I would eat it I actually decided to halve it. Once I’d finished eating I knew I’d have been over full had I eaten it all. Quite a novelty to stop and think prior to eating.
Also felt like I’m winning with the scales again. When I came back from holiday in early August I’d gained 7lb (or maybe it was 7.5 
). Anyway for the past 7 weeks following that I’ve had a loss (even just a small one some weeks). As of yesterday I am down 17lbs (so holiday weight off and an extra 7lb of fresh weight). Feeling pretty cuffed with that.
- Stuck to my plan yesterday. Added a small bowl of ice cream with the children in the evening but after two spoons realised I just wasn’t enjoying it! Surprised myself that I just discarded it. Big win 
The shifts in her mindset and behaviour will be creating long-term success for her bit by bit, bite by bite.
Well done Amanda, such an honour to walk beside you on our journeys.
Jive For Five is BACK! 🎉
Remember how much fun we had with Jive For Five? Well, it’s time to bring it back! On the last weekend of every month, we encourage you to get out there and do something outside your norm.
Whether it’s:
- A walk in a new place 🌳
- A swim in the ocean 🏊♀️
- A hike up a mountain 🏞️
- Or even just dancing in your living room 💃
The idea is to shake things up, have fun, and enjoy a moment just for you. Take a photo of yourself or your view while you’re doing your Jive, and share it with us! We love seeing our tribies from all around the world, stepping out of their routine and trying something new.
So, let’s kick off this Jive For Five this weekend! I can’t wait to see what you get up to. 🥰
New in the HELP Centre: Retrain Your Brain
We’ve just added a brand new section to the HELP Centre called “Retrain Your Brain”. This is all about helping you shift your mindset around weight loss, food, body image, and more. You can now find summaries of different mindset shifts—like how to navigate social situations, building self-acceptance, and creating a sustainable lifestyle.
Start with the summary page here www.fastmamatribe.com/products/the-help-centre/categories/2155852035/posts/2181540621 to explore each of the categories and discover how you can move from Default Thoughts to Power Thoughts in all areas of your journey.
These tools are designed to support you bit by bit as you build a mindset that will carry you through not just weight loss, but lifelong food freedom.
